Large Open-Work Chased Copper Tray
Kashmir
19th century
diameter: 50cm
This large, circular copper tray has been hammered, chased and then hundreds of small holes have been carefully cut out from it to complete the intricate
design. The design, very much in accordance with the northern Indian Islamic aesthetic, is of bands of scrolling foliage in the 'rosette' pattern sometimes seen
in Kashmiri silver and other metal work.
This tray is remarkable for the degree of openwork and the fineness in the execution of that work.
References: For another example of the 'rosette' pattern work on copper, see Pal, P., The Arts of Kashmir, Asia Society, 2007, p. 206.
